OK I’m really trying to lighten the mood here a bit… so I visited New York Moments and found this meme. I already answered in her comments, but I’m posting it here for your enjoyment and perusal.

Things always in my purse:
Yeah ok I have a purse. It’s called a work bag. But why not call it a Man Purse? After all, it has everything I need in there, such as:
1. iPod
2. Keys
3. Camera (if needed)
4. Excedrin (THE headache medicine!)
5. A pen and pad of paper.

Preface: In the interest of clarity, I am using the word “Gay” to mean Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trasgendered, Queer, Bear, Twink, Dyke, Eunuch, Pre-Op, Post-Op, Gender-Unspecific, or any other term to describe any person that is NOT YOUR GENERAL HETEROSEXUAL.

1. Gay people love to put on a show.

2. Some Gay people also love for that show to go on for 4 1/2 hours. Some do NOT.

3. Some Gay people also love to let every Tom, Dick and Mary get on a platform and prattle on for 15 minutes about how persecuted and maligned we are.

4. Most Gay people know how persecuted and maligned we are already without needing someone telling us this.

5. Gay people are all over the world– from the most populous countries to the most desolate.

6. Gay people appreciate the sacrifices that people make to travel hundreds, even thousands, of miles to be in one city for a combined purpose.
